Combine all the ingredients. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper. Marinade chicken for three hours. Bring chicken to room temperature 20 minutes before cooking.

Preheat outdoor grill to medium high

Arrange chicken in a single layer and brush with extra marinade. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes or until cooked, turning over occasionally during cooking. Serve immediately with fresh herbs and extra olive oil over the top.

Place cream cheese and sugar in the mixer at medium speed and beat until smooth and creamy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, followed by sour cream, chocolate powder, melted chocolate, and vanilla bean.

Preheat oven to 300 F

Pour mixture into the pan and bake for 45 minutes. Turn off the oven. Leave the cheesecake to cool completely with the oven door closed before you take it out. Keep refrigerated.

The appetite of countries such as ours for this grain has pushed up prices to such an extent that poorer people in Peru and Bolivia, for whom it was once a nourishing staple food, can no longer afford to eat it. Imported junk food is cheaper. In Lima, quinoa now costs more than chicken.

Early Inspiration

As a young girl living on a small island in the South Pacific, Mia frequently visited her beloved grandma who lived in a tiny countryside village. Though her grandma only had a tiny kitchen with no refrigerator and a makeshift outdoor stove, she enjoyed cooking everything from scratch using fresh ingredients that she herself organically raised and farmed... with lots of love!

Mia has long since sampled a wide variety of unique foods from around the world, but her inspiration, passion, and appreciation for REAL food still originates from her Grandma. Mia tries to source everything from local farms or farmers markets when possible, using mostly fresh, wild, pastured, or organic ingredients.

Many thanks for visiting Mia's Domain. Be sure to visit often, enjoy...and spread the word!
